As He Lianjue said that, “latch on fast, latch one fast” was written all over his face…


  “Do you think that’s possible?” Ye Wanwan was exasperated.

  He Lianjue seriously acted based on his impulses. Who in the Independent State didn’t know her identity? Who didn’t know Yi Lingjun didn’t have a daughter? How could she have suddenly become the daughter of the Arbitration Council’s President?

  “With Father here, nothing is impossible. If I, Yi Lingjun, said you were my daughter, who in the Independent State would dare to doubt it?”


  Ye Wanwan: “…”


  Father…?

  She still hadn’t agreed yet, alright?

  Wasn’t he changing his term of address a bit too fast?

  However, He Lianjue was right. Yi Lingjun was the equivalent of a saint in the hearts of the Independent State’s residents. No one would doubt his words.

  No matter how Ye Wanwan thought about it, she still thought He Lianjue’s suggestion was too absurd. “Enough talking for now. Don’t tell anybody I was here!”


  After He Lianjue’s interruption, Ye Wanwan calmed down and quickly hid in the back before Si Yehan entered.

  “Little Worriless, hey, think about it some more…” He Lianjue resentfully glanced at Ye Wanwan’s disappearing figure.

  At this moment, a servant came to report that Si Yehan was visiting. Only then did He Lianjue immediately switch into Yi Lingjun mode.

  Qin Xiyuan clearly came with Si Yehan, but she didn’t come in.

  Of course, she might’ve only come to intentionally have a chance encounter with Si Yehan then send those suggestive photos to Ye Wanwan to provoke conflict. Her objective had already been achieved.

  The servants didn’t have time to clean up the living room before Si Yehan entered, so he immediately saw the shattered table inside.

  As well as the deep crack on the floor…


  Si Yehan: “…”


  Yi Lingjun wore an unfathomable expression as he calmly said, “I had a little spar with my little disciple just now and didn’t have time to clean up. Apologies, apologies!”


  Si Yehan glanced at Medusa and naturally thought she was the little disciple Yi Lingjun referred to.

  “You’re too polite. It’s fine,” Si Yehan replied.

  As Medusa covertly evaluated this man whose stunning looks made people unable to look away, she hurriedly ordered the servants to tidy up the living room and move a new tea table inside before retreating.

  “Please sit, Director Si,” Yi Lingjun invited. He was the embodiment of a learned scholar and great master without a trace of abnormality in his expression.

  When Ye Wanwan, who was hidden in the back, saw Yi Lingjun’s ability to change his face so fast, she seriously suspected whether he had split personalities or not…


  Si Yehan nodded and sat down across from Yi Lingjun. “I originally shouldn’t have rudely disturbed you after you return fatigued from your long trip, President Yi, but the Summit is imminent and there’s a matter I must discuss with you as soon as possible.”


  Yi Lingjun raised her brows. “Oh? What are you talking about, Director Si?”


  Si Yehan didn’t beat about the bush and frankly handed over the document bag containing the new amendment he prepared the past few days.

  Yi Lingjun glanced at Si Yehan before accepting the thick documents.

  After skimming the documents, Yi Lingjun understood Si Yehan’s intention for coming today. “Heh, you must’ve spent a lot of energy preparing this, right, Director Si? As they say, each new generation surpasses the previous one. You might be young, but you already hold dear the wellbeing of the people close to your heart. The rising generation is truly a force to be reckoned with!”


  Si Yehan seemed to have thought of something and his face, which had been cold and rigid since he stepped through the door, softened a few degrees. “You’re praising me too much, President. I don’t dare to claim credit for myself. I didn’t do it for the Independent State. It was merely… just a little selfishness on my part.”


  Yi Lingjun imperceptibly glanced at Ye Wanwan’s hiding place before asking, “Oh? Selfishness?”


  Chapter 2289 Not doing it for the people, only doing it for one person?

  Behind the reception pavilion, Medusa elbowed Ye Wanwan and teased, “You’re… the reason behind Director Si’s selfishness, right?”


  Ye Wanwan stared at the man in front of her and couldn’t help but recall what He Lianjue said earlier.

  Everyone was pursuing power but this man seemed to lack any personal desire of his own and always solely lived for her…


  Medusa lowered her voice and warned her, “However, Worriless, you can’t trust him too much. No man can resist the temptation of power. If they can resist it, it’s merely because the temptation isn’t big enough!”


  “If Master really had a daughter and wanted to marry her to him, do you think he’d still be indifferent?”


  …


  Yi Lingjun smiled. “It appears… Director Si isn’t doing it for the people and only doing it for one person?”


  “Yes,” Si Yehan replied.

  “Young people are rather honest, but you should know that the probability of me supporting you would be higher if you said it was for the Independent State,” Yi Lingjun said insinuatingly.

  “I believe that you should value the result more, President. My original intentions aren’t important.”


  His original intentions might not be important to other people, but it was very important to him.

  Yi Lingjun swirled the tea leaves in his cup with the lid before abruptly switching the topic. “There’s actually another reason I rushed back to Tianshui City this time.”


  Si Yehan expressed his puzzlement and listened attentively. “May I ask what reason that was, President?”


  Yi Lingjun released a long sigh before announcing, “I found my long lost daughter!”


  Pfffff——


  Behind the reception pavilion, Ye Wanwan was listening to Senior Sister and nearly choked when she heard Yi Lingjun’s sentence.

  What the heck was this old devil saying?!

  However, what followed was more exasperating…


  Si Yehan was also evidently astonished at hearing that. “You have a daughter, President?”


  Everyone in the Independent State knew that Yi Lingjun was unmarried and didn’t have children.

  Yi Lingjun looked proud. “That’s right! Of course I have a daughter and she’s a very adorable and beautiful girl!”


  Every parent in the world would think their child was the best, and Yi Lingjun appeared to be no exception.

  Hence, when Si Yehan heard this, he didn’t find anything wrong with it. “Congratulations are in order then, President.”


  Yi Lingjun closely observed Si Yehan’s reaction as he continued with endless sighs. “Unfortunately, this girl’s standards are too high and hasn’t taken a fancy to anyone. As a father, what I want to see the most is her finding an ideal husband. Regarding her marriage, I’ve simply been wretched by anxiety!”


  Si Yehan inexplicably felt something was wrong with the direction of this topic.

  His astuteness told him that Yi Lingjun was purposefully saying these words to him, but he didn’t feel like Yi Lingjun was this kind of master… who would do something like this…


  Hence, Si Yehan fell into silence for a moment before emptily replying, “Fate merely hasn’t come yet. You don’t need to be so worried, President.”


  A sharp glint flickered through Yi Lingjun’s eyes before he bluntly said, “Seeing Director Si today has made an impression on me. You’re outstanding and capable, your thoughts are open and frank, and your appearance must be liked by girls. That daughter of mine has liked good-looking people since she was born…”


  At this point, Yi Lingjun’s meaning was very obvious.

  So much so that Si Yehan turned completely quiet. Yi Lingjun actually wanted to matchmake his daughter with him…?
